Pay for PmWiki development

If you or your organization benefit from PmWiki and its development, you can support future development, growth, and maintenance by making a payment. You can receive an invoice and may be able to deduct it as expenses.

Why?

PmWiki is open source and available free of charge, however the "free" time for its development, maintenance and support is limited.

Petko Yotov(approuver les sites) has been the PmWiki core developer, release manager and webmaster since 2009(approuver les sites), and has been publishing addons, updating documentation and providing support since 2006(approuver les sites). Financial contributions allow Petko to dedicate more time and effort to the project, reduce other "real" (paid) work and still take care of family, rent, and food. Payments also reduce the tensions among family, work, and PmWiki and reduce burnout on the project.

Please do not feel obligated to make payments: you can always get PmWiki and support for free. This page exists to allow people or companies who want to contribute to do it legally and easily.

Details

Payments can be made via Credit Card, via a PayPal account, via SEPA bank transfer, and you will receive a receipt or an invoice.

• Credit or Debit cards or PayPal accounts can be used to make payments.
• SEPA bank transfer may be convenient in Europe. Please contact 5ko@5ko.fr for details.

While development, documentation, maintenance, communications, testing, and a host of other costs vary considerably according to the activity and complexity, below are some rough estimates on what your payments can allow Petko to perform:

• 400 EUR = a day's work, eg. Core development (planning, researching, coding, testing, committing, documenting).
• 400 EUR = pmwiki.org website maintenance for 1 month (reviewing edits/uploads, reverting spam & vandalism, fixing broken pages, cleanup, configuration).
• 200 EUR = tech intelligence gathering for 1 month (threats, strategies).
• 200 EUR = fix and document 1 medium bug, or 2 simple bugs, or review & update 4 addons for PHP compatibility.
• 600 EUR = create a simple mobile-friendly skin, or an average complexity addon.
• 50 EUR = reply to support or development questions (4-5 simple/short replies, or 1 long reply, or 1 reply requiring research/testing/sample code). English is Petko's third language so writing takes some time.
